Foxit PDF for OS X scrolling issue

05-07-2016, 07:06 PM

I have just installed Foxit Reader 1.1.1.0301 for Mac; however pages now display in proper resolution in HiDPI mode (an issue I had submitted earlier), there is now another problem present: scrolling is slow and jumpy, both when scrolling with a mouse and Magic Trackpad 2. I compared this to Adobe DC and Preview, and both are flawless. Perhaps there's something in Foxit Reader's code that might be improved in this respect?

d14b0ll0s Sorry, I mean the file on your side, can you reproduce the issue with Quick Guide under Help>Quick Guide in Foxit Reader?
In addition, let me know your system version, thanks!

Yes, it's the same with the Quick Guide; there's not much jumpiness in either of these files with Magic Trackpad scrolling, but both with the trackpad and the mouse it is just slower (much less lines per scroll) than in other PDF readers, which is annoying if I want to look around fast, as I often need to do. Perhaps either acceleration or a switch in the settings could be added to Foxit for Mac?

I have this issue too. The issue was not present on my mac mini on OSX Sierra, but when I switched to an iMac with Retina (hi-dpi) display, I find the same bad scrolling as the original poster... Please fix. Thanks.
